One fact has come to light which seems important. NORAD’s defense radars have been programmed to automatically filter-out slow-moving objects. Apparently they have removed this filter in recent days, and that’s how they’re finding them. Seems like the making of a big domestic scandal and intelligence failure, in addition to the makings of a very worrying international incident, with escalatory potential.

so china figured this out and have been using slow moving probes? Maybe for awhile now? 🤔
This seems like a pretty good theory at this point: China found a very dumb hole in US/Canadian air defenses and they have aggressively exploited it. They likely have been intercepting mobile phone communications, among other things, from these balloons.
